8.14.3 Trinidad and Tobago Payroll Procedure
Confirm Trinidad and Tobago in Payroll Setup > Variables. Review contracts, approved hours, recurring items, leave, and bank details for the payroll population. Open Payroll > Pre-Payroll and run Check Integrity. Resolve blockers related to missing contracts, invalid bank data, unapproved hours, or unapproved leave before run creation. Select Run selected period. Open the run details and confirm Trinidad and Tobago appears in the Market line. Review employee statutory, employer statutory, and net pay for workers who moved NIS class or crossed annual PAYE thresholds during the cycle. Use Generate Payroll Register, Generate Bank File, and payslip outputs as required by the payroll close routine.
STRATEGIC TIP: For Trinidad and Tobago payroll, check employees whose earnings changed sharply mid-cycle. NIS class movement and health-surcharge bands can change quickly, and those are the cases most likely to generate avoidable employee questions after payslips are published.
